Take care of grammar mistakes• Just go through the text
of the email to distinguish if it uses a high quality spelling and grammar. A lot of spoofed emails come from spammers in other countries who do not speak good English. This is willingly evident by misspellings and mistakes or unusual language use in the email. alphasandesh.com
Must check the links in email• Move your pointer over any links
in the e-mail, right click it, and choose the "properties" option to notice where they actually go. Spammers spoof links by making the text appear justifiable whereas the definite link goes to a forged website. Avoid clicking the links in distrustful emails because you might go to a site that attempts to download spiteful software onto your computer.
